When started taking Resvertrol with my Curcumin, I literally noticed a "reaction" in my stomach (like a churning). Thereafter, I noticed a detox like effect that didn't take place when I just took the Curcumin alone. There's been some talk about increasing the uptake of Curcumin (warm milk, oil, etc.), and for me, I believe the Resveratrol has helped. (Unless the reaction is nothing more than speedy elimination.)

I just came across this little diddy below and was wondering if you guys thought it might increase absorption (as has been stated, Resveratrol, like Curcumin, has poor internal absorption.

Same here Newreg, my stomach has been churning, and actually hurting, since I started taking Resvertrol. I'm going to the loo often. Maybe it's a poor quality batch of Resvertrol? Can anyone offer some advice or do we simply wait for our bodies to normalize?

orwell, I don't know if that's a good sign. I take resveratrol together with curcumin, and have never had that problem. But several years ago, I took some of LEF's curcumin with bioperine, and that stuff made me cramp up terribly, so I stopped using it.

Also, you want to pay close attention to how the other herbs, that you are taking, might interfere with resveratrol, causing your stomach discomfort.

owell,that combo product sounds a lot like jarrow resveratrol synergy. I can take plain resveratrol without a prob: i've used jarrow and country life, probably others, but that reveratrol synergy product is a nightmare and I will NEVER take even one again. It took me a long time to figure it out, but now I now it turns my healthy gut (here's the drama) into a boaderline IBS sufferer.

In my experience, I'm pretty sure it's the emodin. Even a small amount in the 98.7% pure Resveratrol that I had gave me a laxative effect. I've had detox effects before from various things I've tried, and I don't really think it's detox.

It wasn't a brand in particular, I bought it straight from a middle-man that sourced it from China. Most Resveratrol floating around is from China. I bought a kilo for $800 back then, but the price has dropped a few hundred since...that was 2 summers ago.
